My EQS will sometimes “phantom” break as in when a car starts drifting towards my lane. Mercedes ACC breaking is quite harsh too, so it’s easy to get carsick. In fact every breaking phantom or not EQS is extremely harsh and reactive. Everyone tells me it feels like a boat.
I have seen good reviews for Nissan against Tesla, though.
Not really good for the economy. Cheap cars’ floors are getting higher, whereas all the more expensive cars are moving towards the cheap end. You can see where that’s going.
Updated the software last night in my Model Y and today I had FSD trial enabled on vehicle, was too sensitive and gave me a first out of 5 warnings… I will test it out with Sunglasses to see if it works better, or block the camera, but overall seemed like a good drive, I also tested the “Traffic Light and Stop sign” in Autosteer Beta mode and it slows down the car at 400 ft before any intersection/light-(green or red lights, stop signs), so pressing on the “gas” pedal at the 400 ft mark will propel you through a Green light FYI.
I wouldn’t pay for FSD nor will I do a monthly subscription, Autopilot is just fine for me
And just to fully clarify, I mean lane following ACC (although the Hyundai can change lanes on the highway, when you engage turn signals), as opposed to any kind of nav following autopilot.
Having tried FSD, I think the base Tesla autopilot has been intentional made worse than it can be
Indeed I had the Volvo system for 6 years and the Tesla AP tried to kill me about 600% more times in the first week than the Volvo one ever did in those 6 years!
Main difference is in slow moving traffic where ACC really comes into its own. I have to disable the Tesla AP as its simply too jerky. It’s not the same with FSD…
Just a reminder that the w4t discord has a number of active offers for the use of a member referral code by net new buyers. Easy way to pick-up an extra bonus, on top of the offer from Tesla. See first post for discord information.
I agree. Tesla lost the appeal to me in the last three years. The brand is basically stagnating, with almost no innovation and constant feature removal.
